It’s a lie. It’s propaganda.
We asked www.PAXIS.app to sum it up:

ICE did not “find 3,364 missing children”. They updated contact info.

Why? To serve paperwork, secure court dates, and deport.

Not rescue. Deportation prep.

Call it what it is: a lie.

Kaja Kallas in Munich:

"The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield."

Exactly. For a year, the USA has been pressuring Ukraine to surrender in a war it hasn’t lost, and those

I like the government pivot to reminding voters that Farage is an avowed enemy of NATO & Europe & an ardent admirer of Vladimir Putin, who routinely orders the murders of critics & opponents. It is politically effective & morally essential.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

Minneapolis ICE killings: A moment MAGA can’t lie its way out of? | The News Agents MAGA claims Alex Pretti was a danger to ICE agents who shot him dead on the street in Minneapolis – but social media footage tells a different story. Is this the moment disinformation from the Trump…

"People have their eyes and ears via so many mobile phones which is making it impossible for the administration to lie in the way that they are used to doing," says Emily Maitlis.

Can MAGA recover from its handling of the Minneapolis ICE killings?

Trump Falls for AI Thirst Trap Bot Fake news anchor attack on Gavin Newsom exposed

Donald Trump reposted a completely fake, AI-generated video smearing Gov. Gavin Newsom with made-up cartel claims, created by a bot account posing as a woman delivering “news.”

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

US court allows ICE to arrest and pepper-spray peaceful protestors in Minnesota

Appeals Court Stays Restrictions on Federal Tactics in Minnesota
The Eighth Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request to block, at least for now, a lower court’s injunction limiting how federal agents interact with protesters in the state.

Vikings began settling Greenland around 980 CE - roughly 20 years before they reached North America.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

A conversation between Joe Rogan and Mel Gibson summed up 2025 for me – and not in a good way | George Monbiot From merrily dismissing climate science, to promoting irresponsible health claims, the podcast was an unintentional warning for our times, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Today's column is on the relentless march of blithering idiocy, which includes denying climate science while your house is - literally in this case - burning down.

His entire rant had to be fact-checked to see if there was any truth in anything he ranted about.

As usual, if his mouth is moving, he's lying.

Two Palestine Action-linked hunger strikers taken to hospital MPs and next of kin of prisoners Amu Gib, 30, and Kamran Ahmed, 28, call for immediate government intervention

Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:

It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.

It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.

Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Statement from Bill Clinton’s press secretary on the Epstein files. I want to focus on one specific paragraph, which reads, “There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after.”

I have a problem with this statement. If people “knew nothing”, why did they cut ties “before his crimes came to light”? Seems like an admission that many of them knew full well what was happening and did nothing, even if they wanted nothing to do with his sordid activities themselves.
